WW I & Prohibition

World War I & Prohibition (Third Turning, 1908–1929) was an era of rapid technological change, egocentric
celebrities, widening class divisions, crumbling trusts and unions, and expert—but weak—political leadership. Following World War I, the public
immersed itself in moral crusades (League of Nations, Prohibition, Women Suffrage). By the ‘20s, a fun-filled financial boom was framed
by pessimistic debates over drugs, sex, money, cynicism, violence, immigration, and the family.
